  • September 1850
  • The Compromise of 1850
  • Henry Clay
  • The 1850 Compromise was intended to reduce tensions between the North and the South over the extension of slavery into the West. This agreement paved the way for California to become a free state, for the Fugitive Slave Act to be passed, for popular sovereignty to be established in Mexican territories, for the slave trade to be abolished in Washington, D.C., and for Texas to give up its claims to New Mexico in exchange for $10 million.
  • The Fugitive Slave Act
  • September 18, 1850
  • Senator James M. Mason
  • The Fugitive Slave Act was enacted as part of the 1850 Compromise, and it required all citizens of the United States to aid in the capture and return of slaves. Slavery was thought to be a permanent state, with a slave being a slave forever. The federal government had the power to invade any state and apprehend runaway slaves. You would receive $10 as a prize if you could return a slave to someone, and $5 if you could return a free slave. All you needed was a description of the slave and a statement from the owner to return slaves.Under this act, slaves were not allowed to testify in court in their own defense, and anybody who aided a slave escape was fined $1,000 and sentenced to 6 months in jail.
